Hello sunshine...

Howdy folks! 

I hope this week has been treating you well. It's been rainy/cloudy off and on all week but I don't mind because you wouldn't believe how green everything has gotten because of it. I love this time of year and soon the apple trees will be blossoming and I wish I could bottle how sweet the air smells when that happens. No candle or air freshener I've ever come across has nailed that scent yet. 

My card today has a little Gorjuss Girl out enjoying the fresh spring air. And with her butterfly friend there I'm entering her into this week's Flutter By challenge, which is open. I pulled out a newer 6x6 paper pad from Crate to go with this sweet GG and as I was flipping through the papers that brick looking print was just what I needed to create a 'wall' for her to rest on. After that the clouds and floral print were a given to complete the scene. I have to say that those flowers have a different color combo going on than what I'm used to but it was interesting pulling copics to match for her outfit. The sentiment is a cool wood veneer that I spritzed with a yellow marker to make it coordinate with the whole color scheme and feel that I was going for. I gotta say that if Studio Calico would sell more sentiments like this in packages I would be first in line to grab some, LOL! 

Alrighty, thanks for stopping by... I'll see ya again in 24! :)

Sweet card! And I envy you with the green and blossoms! Sea air is nice, but it doesn't beat the intoxicating scent of Spring blossoms.
